Correct
> (1b) Does each row of the second sheet reflect the date of the
corresponding row in the first sheet (in other words, dates are repeated
on the second sheet, as suggested by your formula ($Data.A4, $Data.A5,
$Data.A6, ...), or is each date on the second sheet listed just once?
No, the second sheet merely has a single entry per date. I basically
used LEFT(1st sheet date/time column, 10) then manually typed the
following date in the cell below, clicked on bottom right of cell and
dragged down to current date.
> (2) We don't need to worry about columns B or D of the first sheet,
just column C? [Any significance to columns B-C-D being indexed in three
different formats (Numeric-UPPERCASE-lowercase)?]
Yes, do worry about columns B, D. I would like to do something similar
to C, but figured I might try and bastardise the formula for C, for B +D.

with just the date, not a date/time stamp?
Yes
> (3b) How is that date/time field acquired? Could it be
acquired/input as two separate fields, date and time?
It is a combined field downloaded in a .csv file.

> (4) [This is related to questions 1 and 3] Given that you acquire
the date for your second sheet's column A as a text field, is there a
possible data type mismatch?
The date column in both sheets is formatted as a date column
Sheet 1: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
Sheet 2: yyyy-mm-dd
